The Series
Friday will be the fourth time the Iowa State and UCF tennis programs meet and the first time in the Big 12 Conference. Iowa State leads the series 2-1, with all the meetings taking place in Orlando. This weekend will be the first time UCF plays in Ames, where the Cyclones will look to take a 3-1 lead in the all-time series.
Iowa State and Houston have only met once before, in 2012 at Houston. The Cougars got the best of the Cyclones that day as they won the match, 4-3. The Cyclones will look to even the series this week as the Cougars come to town for a Big 12 showdown.
Last Time Out
Iowa State scored their first Big 12 win of the season last Friday at Cincinnati, 4-3. It was the first win for the Cyclones since the opening week of the spring dual season when they beat South Dakota and Missouri State. To read more about last week, click here.
